          You could do it using time.sleep, and del to remove the first element:



          for i in range(len(num)):
          time.sleep(2)
          del num[0]

          • Additionally, if you also want to do something with that first value, you could use num.pop(0)

            Also, although performance is probably not an issue here, for a long list you might want to use collections.deque instead of a list: docs.python.org/3.5/library/collections.html#collections.deque

          Another solution is using list.pop(), as follows:



          import time
          num=[1,2,3,4]
          while num:
          num.pop(0)
          time.sleep(2)

            This does so, until eventually it runs out of elements to remove.



            import time

            num = [1, 2, 3, 4]
            while num:
            time.sleep(2)
            del num[0]
            print (num)

              Might be tempted to make that while num instead of while True - that way the loop will exit gracefully (or not attempt to delete from an empty list to start with) when it's empty rather than raise an exception.

            Try this code !



            Use sleep function by importing time file & del command to remove the element from list.



            Code :



            import time

            num = [1,2,3,4]
            for i in num:
            time.sleep(2)
            print("Delete item ", i)
            del i


            Output :



            Delete item  1                                                                                                          
            Delete item 2
            Delete item 3
            Delete item 4

                        Might be tempted to make that while num instead of while True - that way the loop will exit gracefully (or not attempt to delete from an empty list to start with) when it's empty rather than raise an exception.

                      Try this code !



                      Use sleep function by importing time file & del command to remove the element from list.



                      Code :



                      import time

                      num = [1,2,3,4]
                      for i in num:
                      time.sleep(2)
                      print("Delete item ", i)
                      del i


                      Output :



                      Delete item  1                                                                                                          
                      Delete item 2
                      Delete item 3
                      Delete item 4
